Rescue of American pilot

Trump says he ordered US military to do whatever necessary to rescue airman
Trump calls Iran "evil" and doubles down on threats against the country's civilian infrastructure that he posted on social media earlier.
"The entire country can be taken out in one night, and that night might be tomorrow night," he says.
The president talks more about the rescue, saying he ordered US armed forces to do whatever was necessary to bring home the stranded airman.
He says they took "extraordinary risks", and that none of the rescuers were injured.
The ejected airman himself was injured badly, though, and scaled cliff faces while bleeding profusely to transmit his location, Trump says.
